Lecture: Nicholas Mirzoeff (Media, Culture, and Communication, New York University) Nicholas Mirzoeff
"The Right to Look: Technologies of Direct Democracy"
Date: February 21, 2013 Time: 4:00 p.m. Location: Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum
About the speaker: Nicholas Mirzoeff is Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University.Professor Mirzoeff's work is in the field of visual culture. In recent years it has fallen into four main areas:
First, he has been working on the genealogy of visuality, a key term in the field. Far from being a postmodern theory word, it was created to describe how Napoleonic era generals “visualized” a battlefield that they could not see. Applied to the social as a whole by Thomas Carlyle, visuality was a conservative strategy to oppose all emancipations and liberations in the name of the autocratic hero. His book The Right to Look: A Counterhistory of Visuality was published by Duke University Press (2011).
Second, he produces texts and projects that support the general development of visual culture as a field of study and a methodology. The third Visual Culture Reader was published in 2012 by Routledge, The second fully revised edition of An Introduction to Visual Culture was published in 2009 by Routledge, with color illustrations throughout and new sections of Keywords and Key Images.
Third, Professor Mirzoeff works on militant research with the global social movements that have arisen since 2011.
Finally, he is working on a new project on the cultures of climate change in conjunction with the not-for-profit Islands First.

CHINA NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Conductor: Xincao Li Violin: Chuanyun
Saturday 23 February | 7:30PM Foellinger Great Hall, Krannert
Since the mid-1950s, the China National Symphony Orchestra has introduced Chinese audiences to a vast repertoire of classical, romantic, and contemporary orchestral works by both Western and Asian composers. Collaborating with outstanding artists such as Seiji Ozawa, Isaac Stern, Lang Lang, and Yo-Yo Ma, it continues to foster a tradition of premieres and has made remarkable contributions to cross-cultural symphonic programming through international tours. In addition to Strauss’ landmark Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life), conductor Xincao Li presents Xia Guan’s Earth Requiem, composed in remembrance of the devastating 2008 Sichuan earthquake, and Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in D Minor with prodigy Chuanyun Li, who was featured in Chen Kaige’s 2003 movie Together.

Chasing Ice The Art Theater Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th at 11:30 AM
In the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National Geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth’s changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.
Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers.
As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether. Battling untested technology in subzero conditions, he comes face to face with his own mortality. It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet.
Modern Greek Studies Lecture: Yossipon and Jewish Nationalism in 19th and 20th Century Greece
So I know almost nothing of Judaism and its history, but I've always want to learn more. This intrigues me although I feel like I'd be completely lost.
Monday, Feb 25. 7:30pm. Lucy Ellis Lounge (1080 Foreign Language Bldg)
A speaker from University of Cincinnati will be talking about how the Greek War of Independence in the 1820s inspired other countries to seek independence and how the epic "The Book of Yosippon" inspired nationalism within Greek Jews. This will be connected to Jews seeking a home in Palestine, responding to the Holocaust, and re-establishing the State of Israel.

Sponsor Physics Contact Peggy Pennell E-Mail ppennell@illinois.edu Phone 217/244-7636 Event type CM Seminar Views 363 Originating Calendar Physics - Condensed Matter Seminar With the recent discovery of superconductivity in iron-based superconductors, interesting questions are posed regarding the pairing symmetry of the superconducting state, which is intimately linked to the structure of the superconducting gap. In my talk, I will present an overview of London penetration depth measurements taken on these materials with the use of a tunnel diode resonator (TDR) circuit in order to address the question of the gap structure. Emphasis will be placed on the so called “122” class of these materials of which large, high quality single crystals are available. The details of the superconducting gap structure, in particular the presence of nodes, has been inferred from the doping evolution of the experimentally determined power law behavior of the penetration depth. Comparisons will be made to penetration depth measurements in the LiFeAs system, believed to be an iron-based superconductor in the clean limit, and also to thermal conductivity measurements.

"What Persian Language and Literature Say about Iranian Culture, 1941 - 1978"
Professor Michael Hillmann (University of Texas at Austin) Feb 25, 2013 4:00 pm Reading Room of the Levis Faculty Center, 919 W. Illinois, Urbana Free and open to the public Contact Angela Williams E-Mail aswillms@illinois.edu
'What Persian Language and Literature Say about Iranian Culture, 1941'1978' begins with the citation of distinctive facts about today's Farsi Persian language that suggest distinctive features of Iranian culture. It then cites distinctive attitudes in Iranian culture about the distinctive roles of the Persian language and Persian literature in Iranian identity, suggesting the special relevance of the study of the nature of Persian and the content of Persian literature in fathoming today's Iran and Iranians. The talk then turns to a summary of culturally revealing classic literary texts of the later Pahlavi Era (1941'1978) by Sadegh Hedayat (1903'1951), Nim Yushij (1895'1960), Jall l-e Ahmad (1923'1969), Mehdi Akhavn-e Sles (1928'2000), and Gholmhosayn S'edi (1935' 1985) and looks at four telling shorter poems by Forugh Farrokhzad (1935'1967), whom critics credit with introducing the feminine gender into Persian literature, more then a thousand years after Rudaki (d. 940/1), its first important poet. The talk ends without wondering how history since 1941 might have differed had American academic political scientists and government analysts and policy-makers examined the contemporary Persian language or read its Persian literature. The talk ends also without voicing the notion that American universities should support Persian language and literature programs, not from language qua language or literature qua literature orientations, but for what they can offer to area studies social scientists and international business experts.

Sons of the Prophet Station Theater 8pm Thursday, 21st
A finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this funny, biting play follows a Lebanese-American family made up of two brothers and their ailing Uncle Bill in a refreshingly honest take on how we cope with wounds that just won’t heal. Charles Isherwood of the New York Times wrote that the play is an "...absolutely wonderful new comedy-drama ... Written with insight and compassion, not to mention biting wit, it shines a clarifying light into some of life’s darker passages, exploring how people endure the unendurable, and not only survive but also move forward through their blighted lives with sustaining measures of hope, love and good humor.”

Two Events With: Nicholas Mirzoeff (Media, Culture, and Communication, New York University)
Lecture:
“The Right to Look: Technologies of Direct Democracy”
Date: February 21, 2013 Time: 4:00 p.m. Location: Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum
Co-Sponsored by IPRH and the Spurlock Museum. A reception will follow the lecture. This event is free and open to the public.
About this event: In this talk I will look at the analysis of visuality formed in my book The Right to Look and how it has informed my subsequent activism in the Occupy and Strike Debt movements. I question how we might imagine a countervisuality, write a history of the anonymous and create techniques of direct democracy with reference to critical theory, digital humanities and direct action.
About the speaker: Nicholas Mirzoeff is Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University. His work is in the field of visual culture. He has been working on the genealogy of visuality, a term created to describe how Napoleonic era generals “visualized” a battlefield that they could not see. Applied to the social as a whole by Thomas Carlyle, visuality was a conservative strategy to oppose all emancipations and liberations in the name of the autocratic hero. His book The Right to Look: A Counterhistory of Visuality was published by Duke University Press (2011). Professor Mirzoeff also produces texts and projects that support the general development of visual culture as a field of study and a methodology: The third Visual Culture Reader was published in 2012 by Routledge, the second fully revised edition of An Introduction to Visual Culture was published in 2009 by Routledge.
Professor Mirzoeff also works on militant research with the global social movements that have arisen since 2011, and has been working on a new project on the cultures of climate change in conjunction with the not-for-profit Islands First.

"The Right to Look: Technologies of Direct Democracy"
Date: February 21, 2013
Time: 4:00 p.m.
Location: Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum
About the speaker:
Nicholas Mirzoeff is Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University.Professor Mirzoeff's work is in the field of visual culture. In recent years it has fallen into four main areas:
First, he has been working on the genealogy of visuality, a key term in the field. Far from being a postmodern theory word, it was created to describe how Napoleonic era generals “visualized” a battlefield that they could not see. Applied to the social as a whole by Thomas Carlyle, visuality was a conservative strategy to oppose all emancipations and liberations in the name of the autocratic hero. His book The Right to Look: A Counterhistory of Visuality was published by Duke University Press (2011).
Second, he produces texts and projects that support the general development of visual culture as a field of study and a methodology. The third Visual Culture Reader was published in 2012 by Routledge, The second fully revised edition of An Introduction to Visual Culture was published in 2009 by Routledge, with color illustrations throughout and new sections of Keywords and Key Images.
Third, Professor Mirzoeff works on militant research with the global social movements that have arisen since 2011.
Finally, he is working on a new project on the cultures of climate change in conjunction with the not-for-profit Islands First.

Since the mid-1950s, the China National Symphony Orchestra has introduced Chinese audiences to a vast repertoire of classical, romantic, and contemporary orchestral works by both Western and Asian composers. Collaborating with outstanding artists such as Seiji Ozawa, Isaac Stern, Lang Lang, and Yo-Yo Ma, it continues to foster a tradition of premieres and has made remarkable contributions to cross-cultural symphonic programming through international tours. In addition to Strauss’ landmark Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life), conductor Xincao Li presents Xia Guan’s Earth Requiem, composed in remembrance of the devastating 2008 Sichuan earthquake, and Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in D Minor with prodigy Chuanyun Li, who was featured in Chen Kaige’s 2003 movie Together.

Chasing Ice
ReplyDeleteThe Art Theater
Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th at 11:30 AM
In the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National Geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth’s changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.
Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers.
As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether. Battling untested technology in subzero conditions, he comes face to face with his own mortality. It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet.

With the recent discovery of superconductivity in iron-based superconductors, interesting questions are posed regarding the pairing symmetry of the superconducting state, which is intimately linked to the structure of the superconducting gap. In my talk, I will present an overview of London penetration depth measurements taken on these materials with the use of a tunnel diode resonator (TDR) circuit in order to address the question of the gap structure. Emphasis will be placed on the so called “122” class of these materials of which large, high quality single crystals are available. The details of the superconducting gap structure, in particular the presence of nodes, has been inferred from the doping evolution of the experimentally determined power law behavior of the penetration depth. Comparisons will be made to penetration depth measurements in the LiFeAs system, believed to be an iron-based superconductor in the clean limit, and also to thermal conductivity measurements.

'What Persian Language and Literature Say about Iranian Culture, 1941'1978' begins with the citation of distinctive facts about today's Farsi Persian language that suggest distinctive features of Iranian culture. It then cites distinctive attitudes in Iranian culture about the distinctive roles of the Persian language and Persian literature in Iranian identity, suggesting the special relevance of the study of the nature of Persian and the content of Persian literature in fathoming today's Iran and Iranians. The talk then turns to a summary of culturally revealing classic literary texts of the later Pahlavi Era (1941'1978) by Sadegh Hedayat (1903'1951), Nim Yushij (1895'1960), Jall l-e Ahmad (1923'1969), Mehdi Akhavn-e Sles (1928'2000), and Gholmhosayn S'edi (1935' 1985) and looks at four telling shorter poems by Forugh Farrokhzad (1935'1967), whom critics credit with introducing the feminine gender into Persian literature, more then a thousand years after Rudaki (d. 940/1), its first important poet. The talk ends without wondering how history since 1941 might have differed had American academic political scientists and government analysts and policy-makers examined the contemporary Persian language or read its Persian literature. The talk ends also without voicing the notion that American universities should support Persian language and literature programs, not from language qua language or literature qua literature orientations, but for what they can offer to area studies social scientists and international business experts.

ReplyDeleteStation Theater
8pm Thursday, 21st
A finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this funny, biting play follows a Lebanese-American family made up of two brothers and their ailing Uncle Bill in a refreshingly honest take on how we cope with wounds that just won’t heal. Charles Isherwood of the New York Times wrote that the play is an "...absolutely wonderful new comedy-drama ... Written with insight and compassion, not to mention biting wit, it shines a clarifying light into some of life’s darker passages, exploring how people endure the unendurable, and not only survive but also move forward through their blighted lives with sustaining measures of hope, love and good humor.”

Two Events With:
ReplyDeleteNicholas Mirzoeff
(Media, Culture, and Communication, New York University)
Lecture:
“The Right to Look:
Technologies of Direct Democracy”
Date: February 21, 2013
Time: 4:00 p.m.
Location: Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum
Co-Sponsored by IPRH and the Spurlock Museum. A reception will follow the lecture. This event is free and open to the public.
About this event:
In this talk I will look at the analysis of visuality formed in my book The Right to Look and how it has informed my subsequent activism in the Occupy and Strike Debt movements. I question how we might imagine a countervisuality, write a history of the anonymous and create techniques of direct democracy with reference to critical theory, digital humanities and direct action.
About the speaker:
Nicholas Mirzoeff is Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University. His work is in the field of visual culture. He has been working on the genealogy of visuality, a term created to describe how Napoleonic era generals “visualized” a battlefield that they could not see. Applied to the social as a whole by Thomas Carlyle, visuality was a conservative strategy to oppose all emancipations and liberations in the name of the autocratic hero. His book The Right to Look: A Counterhistory of Visuality was published by Duke University Press (2011). Professor Mirzoeff also produces texts and projects that support the general development of visual culture as a field of study and a methodology: The third Visual Culture Reader was published in 2012 by Routledge, the second fully revised edition of An Introduction to Visual Culture was published in 2009 by Routledge.
Professor Mirzoeff also works on militant research with the global social movements that have arisen since 2011, and has been working on a new project on the cultures of climate change in conjunction with the not-for-profit Islands First.
